New York governor signs equal pay legislation during the parade

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo just announced he has signed equity pay legislation in New York state.

He tweeted a photo of himself at today's parade.

"The women's soccer team plays the same game that the men’s soccer players play — only better. If anything, the men should get paid less," he tweeted.

About the team's fight for equal pay: Months before the World Cup kicked off, women's team stars Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn filed a lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation, claiming they deserve to be paid what the American men are paid for their international performances.

The federation denied the claim in May, saying the disparities were the product of business decisions rather than any efforts to discriminate, Sports Illustrated and other media outlets reported. The USSF also said the men and women are subject to different collective bargaining agreements, which are not made public.

Former World Cup Champion: "No excuse" to not have equal pay

Former US goalkeeper Briana Scurry said it's time for equal pay.

Scurry played on the 1999 Women's World Cup championship team and said on CNN that she thinks there's "no excuse" to not pay women the same as the men's team.

"Back in the day, US soccer used the two Rs: That was rankings and revenue. So now we have the revenue the women’s team makes is equal, if not better in the last seven years, and you also have the ratings and rankings of TV broadcasting ... They're equal, so let's make the pay equal as well," she said.

Scurry said her 1999 team used their platform and championships to advocate for equal resources like promotions and publicity, as well as hotels and travel amenities.

“So that began the fight,” she said.

Scurry said she appreciates Megan Rapinoe speaking out and continuing the fight for equality that was started in 1999.

“I think the social environment now for these women to get change is very different than it was 20 years ago to get change," she added.

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat and a 2020 presidential candidate, said he would require equal pay for men and women on national sports teams.

"If I were president of the United States, I would insist that Congress pass an amendment to the Amateur Sports Act requiring — requiring — equal pay for men and women in all of our national sports teams," de Blasio said.

He continued: "And if they didn’t do it, I’d use an executive order to have the Treasury Department enforce on the US Soccer Federation, because they’re Tax Exempt, and they’re discriminating, in effect, against women in pay."

A bunch of people at the parade want Megan Rapinoe for president

From CNN's Eric Levenson

Soccer fans are packing Lower Manhattan for today's ticker tape parade. Many of them have brought posters and signs to cheer on the team.

Some of those signs are encouraging Megan Rapinoe to run for president.

Rapinoe — who has described herself as a "walking protest" — has skyrocketed to national prominence for leading her team's undefeated run to win the World Cup on Sunday and championing the lawsuit demanding pay equal to the men's team.

The US women's soccer team has a fourth star. Here's what that means.

The US women's soccer team has been flashing up the number four in pictures and videos since they won the World Cup on Sunday. Plus, you might have noticed an extra star above the crest on all of the logos, jerseys and new shirts.

The fourth star represents the team's fourth World Cup the team won — the other three representing championships in 1991, 1999 and 2015.

Here are some times on social media the team has celebrated the fourth star:

President Trump hasn't invited the US women's team to the White House

The US Women's soccer team hasn't received an invitation from President Trump to visit the White House after winning the Women's World Cup.

This White House visit has been a point of tension between players and the President.

A few weeks ago, a reporter from Eight by Eight, a soccer magazine that looks at the sport and its place in culture, asked Megan Rapinoe if she was excited about going to the White House if her team wins the Women's World Cup.

"Psssh, I'm not going to the f*****g White House," she fired back before the reporter finished the question. "No. I'm not going to the White House. We're not gonna be invited. I doubt it."

Trump responded by tweeting "Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job!"

He continued, "We haven't yet invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team."

Rapinoe made no excuses for the willingness of her team to engage in issues beyond wins and losses at a news conference following the World Cup final.

"We say what we feel. All of us really, I know that my voice sometimes is louder, but in meal rooms, in conversations, everybody is in this together," Rapinoe said, with her medal around her neck. "We are such a proud and strong and defiant group of women."

Player Rose Lavelle told Poppy Harlow on CNN that she felt like the team was "all on the same page" about if they would go to the White House if Trump extended the invitation, but didn't specify what that meant.

Another player Kelly O' Hara continued, "I think that's a conversation we'll have as a team and I think that, like she said, deal with it after we enjoy this time together."
